You mean the one that shattered after being dropped a couple times?

7. zerglisk (Posts: 544; Member since: 09 Feb 2010)

The one ppl have to hold it at an awkward fashion which leads to phone drops on the ground and shatters easily? The one that ppl wanted to show off their body but ultimately they have to use a "condom" to get a reception?

The one that is 'awesome' and the dream-come-true-video call-phone, if the other person as one like it, and you are in the range of an wi-fi hot point, that means..in that case you don't even need a phone, you call person trough the internet...?

@Rory I think it shatters from gripping it to hard.

@few yeah because fancy is was makes phone calls. It's not like cirque du soliel come bounding out of you phone like acrobats carrying your phone call on a feather pillow then driving it to your girlfriends house in an Aston Martin. It's an icon clusterfuck made of glass and crappy Apple recyclables. But you keep fancy you need it, you never know there could be an app that helps you get a life.

So here's what you do: deactivate your X, put your Storm 2 on the line, go to Europe, come back, reactivate your X, and VOILA! You don't have to cancel and you keep superior service. FYI, global capable droids are coming out by the end of the year on Verizon.

Can i rally do that??? And if so how? Ur a lifesaver cuz I dnt wanna cancel verizon

15. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

Okay, what you do is this: Take your Storm 2 (presuming you still have it) and dial *228, hit option 1. Follow the instructions. You'll need your password/last four of your social. After it's activated, call Customer Service (1-800-922-0204) and hit "0" at the main menu. get the rep to get everything set up on your account for international service. When you get back do the reverse: get all the international crap taken off the account and reactivate your Droid using the same *228 option 1.

thank u very mucho!! it worked perfect!

17. Sniggly (Posts: 7305; Member since: 05 Dec 2009)

Lol, you waited around for my response, didn't you? Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner, I've been driving. Just remember to get to customer service to get those international features activated so the Storm will work.

See Verizons people blogging and they are still willing to help customers out.+5k

Oh hell yeah. A happy customer is a paying customer. Alex gets to keep his awesome phone and NOT pay a 300 and fucking 50 dollar termination fee while he goes to Eurpoe, and Verizon keeps a happy customer who's paying his monthly bill like clockwork. And eventually, 20 months from now, a Verizon salesman gets to get a nice little commission and feed his kids/get that last bit of money for a down payment on a new car to replace the 12 year old POS he's been driving when it's not in the shop being fixed. EVERYBODY wins. You can be selfish and generous at the same time. :) Plus, I love just helping people out. Just the other day stopped by a family with a flat tire on the highway, let them use my phone to argue with their roadside assistance, used my phone to find the local junkyard and get them to come tow the vehicle to their shop (at a lower rate than roadside assistance was going to charge) and get those locking lug nuts off and a new (cheap!) tire put on. I was a half hour late to my second job, but I still felt good when all was said and done.
